all that i would like to see is some anger or emotion from polititians, not only the usual speeches, and significant statements about what is going to happen to these pieces of scum who did this.
i have family in london now, but they are allright..
my deepest condolences to the affected families.

I thought that for once (I'm usually not a fan) Blair showed conviction in his words and they seemed heartfelt, allegedly read from handwritten notes. As i stated before getting hot and bothered solves and changes nothing. When you yourself get angry I'm sure you've lashed out at someone or things and maybe even trashed stuff while caught up in the anger of the moment - what did it acheive except a temporary release that you later had to fix or resolve? Same applies here in my view.

i agree he did have heartfelt words, but in comparison to say, Churchill's famous speech. i just think there needs to be more outcry from polititians about how they really feel. if they are angry, just say it. it's understandable.

Know why that guy's in the paper? LOL! He was CONVICTED of disturbing the peace because of his Christmas display. There were too many cars passing by to look and the neighbors didn't like it. They also objected to the obnoxiously loud music he blared until 10pm each night. Heh! He did manage to avoid a jail sentence--which could've been about 2 years in the clink--but, really...only in Arizona.

This terrorist attack prove that anything can happened anywhere, no matter if you in US or London or anywhere in the world. Terrorism is there and it will strike when people less expected! It sadden me that one day after London is announce as the place for 2012 olympic, the bombing has to happened on the next day.

I've been chewing all day on what exactly to say here ... I have truly considered myself to be a lucky man to be making friends all around the world ... and to have a day when cowards might have endangered those friends ...

I will not editorialize ... but I hope that all of the members of our community have made it through this horrible incident ... both themselves and their families ... and of course ... well done in showing the world just what kind of stuff the Brits are made of ... well done indeed ...
